    Very nice set.

    The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

    Was able to add a 1.1 this week, although MS64 (Ebay) - a MS66 hasn't been discovered yet!

    Still need 2 generations - posted them on the BST yesterday.

    why are your generations different than 'PCGS Museum of Coin Holders'? What are you using for source of generations?

    They were the generations described by Conder101 (here) long before the museum of holders was developed.

    It's based on the labels more than the plastic which is why there were more "generations". PCGS lumps them together based on the plastic, then adds decimals for different labels.

    "Gen. 6.0 - None seen to date - the Gen 6.0 isn't really a generation after all - it was a simple appearing blue label for coins that didn't have an established coin number at the time of slabbing."

    I have been collecting Condor's Type 6 holder for years now, Have over 40 of those holders.
    Not sure that the statement is completely true. As I have found many Ike dollars in this holder, as well as the type 6.1 and 6.2.

    Micheal Sherman put out a statement on this holder which he gave a generation number of 4.0 as a sub type. "We believe these were not a regular production generation, but appeared only on a few coins whose Serias and Coin number had not yet been established."

    After years of searching for these holders (NO 1938-D 5c) I have a date set of Ikes 71-78 in MS and Proof. Ikes have been graded since day one of PCGS and the coin and serias number were established at the begining.
    See my Ike set in the PCGS registry set.

    Way cool.

  • LakesammmanLakesammman Posts: 17,384 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Finally found a "Gen. 10", though not graded MS66.

    If you've noticed any new "generations" from PCGS lately, let me know!
